The instrumental B-side of 'Midnight Animal' is one of the most underrated synth tracks of the decade.

On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope.
The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn.

Does anyone have the full cue sheet for the radio promo 12-inch?

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal.
